Michael Jace was sentenced Friday to 40 years to life in prison for the murder of his wife. Jace, who once played a police officer on The Shield, shot April Jace fatally—in front of their two young kids—at their LA home on May 19, 2014. He was reportedly unhappy because April wanted a divorce, and thought she was cheating on him. Jace was also convicted on a special allegation charge, or "gun enhancement," because he used a handgun in the killing, which added time to his sentence, NBC Los Angeles reports.

Gun enhancement is great and anyone who supports the 2nd amendment should love it too. The only argument for gun rights is self defense and it is a good argument. If you don't crack down on people who terribly abuse their right to bear arms, they will chip away at that right continuously. Especially with guns because abuse of that right is so often fatal. Enhanced sentencing should protect rights and they do nothing to limit.

I am sure racists and libs will whine that if he were white, he would have received less time. They almost always do.

I LOVE these stupid celebrities (pro sports and actors/musicians) who have it all, and then throw it all away. That means they never deserved having it to begin with. Just born losers. LMAO
